Rachel McAdams famously dated Canadian heartthrob Ryan Gosling for four years, from 2004-2008. Of McAdams and his other ex Sandra Bullock, Gosling once told The TimesUK, "I had two of the greatest girlfriend of all time. I haven't met anybody who could top them." Cue collective “aww”-ing.

Now, McAdams tells Glamour she think it’s “great” Gosling has become a “huge feminist icon”, but adds that on-set romances (like McAdam and Gosling’s alleged fling on The Notebook set) are not a good idea. “A set may seem like a good place for romance, but I don't think it's very conducive; it's too distracting," McAdams explains.

Ryan once told GQ Magazine: “God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.”

Again with the “awww”! God bless Ryan Gosling for bringing chivalry back. We’ll take this time to admit that we still miss Ryan and Rachel together! Do you wish these two would get back together?
